Simple Pleasures

I believe I snapped close to 100 pictures in a matter of minutes, captivated by their wholehearted "glee" over the bubbles. I started snapping, one handled, angling and balancing the camera with one hand as I held the bright pink bottle of bubbles in the other. Then, longing for a better angle, I left the bubbles in their hands and realized, as I watched them take turns, that the bubbles are now safe(r) in their hands - less likely to be tipped and spilled than they were a year ago. Has it really been that long since we dragged out a bottle of bubbles?

I snapped photos until the battery died. Not that I can complain. The camera was a gift on May 12. Yesterday was June 15. You can only guess how many photos I've taken -- all on a single battery charge.

I snapped bunches of photos of both boys, but I was keeping in mind that the big one had agreed to come outside with us but had decided not to put his jeans back on. And, as we got ready to come down, he pointed out that he had on one silver croc and one yellow one. "The mice will think I'm cheese," he laughed, wiggling his yellow croc slightly. So, mostly photos from the head up!

The little one... well, he did put his pants back on... backwards.

Boys.

But, what joy as they chased the bubbles.
